ExtremeRavens Posted 19 hours ago Posted 19 hours ago The Ravens have signed veteran cornerback Chidobe Awuzie to bolster their depleted secondary. The contract is for one year, the team announced Tuesday. It also comes at a minimum cost, with the Tennessee Titans, who released Awuzie earlier this month, owing him $7.5 million guaranteed on the three-year, $36 million deal he signed with the Titans last offseason. The addition of Awuzie, 29, helps replenish a secondary that lost starting cornerback Brandon Stephens, who signed with the New York Jets in free agency, and veteran Tre’Davious White, who remains unsigned for now. Ravens 2025 free agency tracker: S Marcus Williams released; WR Tylan Wallace re-signs Aside from 2024 first-round draft pick Nate Wiggins and All-Pro slot cornerback Marlon Humphrey, the only other cornerbacks on Baltimore’s roster at the moment are fourth-year veteran but oft-injured Jalyn Armour-Davis and unproven 2024 fourth-round pick T.J. Tampa. Awuzie adds plenty of experience and familiarity. A 2017 second-round pick by the Dallas Cowboys out of Colorado, he has appeared in 94 games (81 starts) over the past eight seasons. After spending his first four seasons with the Cowboys, he signed a three-year, $21.75 million contract with the Cincinnati Bengals in 2021 before joining Tennessee in free agency after that. With the Titans, he started last season opposite L’Jarius Sneed but suffered a groin in Week 3 that landed him on injured reserve before returning in Week 14. He finished the year with 26 tackles, one interception, a forced fumble and four pass breakups in eight games. In his career, Awuzie has seven interceptions, five forced fumbles, two fumble recoveries, 66 passes defensed and 395 tackles. A native of San Jose, California, Awuzie was a two-time All-Pac 12 selection while at Colorado. Have a news tip? Contact Brian Wacker at bwacker@baltsun.com, 410-332-6200 and x.com/brianwacker1.
